I love pearls and I think they look really elegant as jewelries.
When I was a kid we used to have this big shell that was given as a gift to my family by my father’s Japanese friend. My grandma used to say that when you bury or cover the shell in a container filled with uncooked rice, the shells will begin to produce pearls so my younger sister and I would always hide the shell in a can filled with rice. Don’t know if it’s true but it doesn’t matter. We had fun playing with that big old shell.
But now that we’re ladies, we enjoy the pearls much even more…
...and here's something from Cherry Bubbins,
